‘The Lucky Man’ – Writer/Director - Laoise Sexton – Drama (running time 15mins)

‘Splash!’ - Writer/director - Kate Haley – Drama (running time 10 mins)

Synopsis : Adrianna is lonely. When she matches with a man online, she struggles to face how she feels about her body. Haunted by a childhood memory, can Adrianna free herself from her past in order to fully embrace her future?

‘Work’ – Writer/Director – Aoife Williamson – Drama (15 mins)

Synopsis: We follow Lilleth, a musician and sex worker on a day that her two worlds collide.

‘I’m Grand’ – Director – Caroline Harvey – Documentary (running time 20 mins)

An exploration of those on the front lines of the social care system, I’m Grand shines a light on the human cost of caregiving, the systemic apathy that hinders change, and the power of kindness in the face of overwhelming challenges.

‘Familial’ Director - Ayla Amano – Music Video (running time 5 mins)

Musician Daithí chose to collaborate with New Zealand filmmaker Ayla Amano in the ambitious project, which aims to explore the ways families and communities communicate with one another; what is said and what is unsaid. What is spoken about through language and what is spoken about in more subtle, non-verbal ways. Common themes are explored between family relationships in rural Ireland and in New Zealand, in an attempt to ultimately say something about the world at large.
